om Professor Oak. The document you ore reading is the result of ~
many years of studying Pokemon. I strongly suggest that you read
..
this document thoroughly so you may become o Pokemon Moster.
-----(
There are more than 100 Pokemon in existence. The more they
fight the more powerful they become. The Pokemon having only
simple attack techniqµes. such as TACKLE or TAIL WHIP. gain
new. stronger techniqµes. like BITE or WATER GUN.
Some
Pokemon evolve and change in appearance .
PROJl!!OR OAIC
He is the leading expert on
Pokemon. Listen to his wise
advice.
DIJIAT TUI I POICiMON llADllt!
In the world of Pokemon. there are many Pokemon Trainers
who raise Pokemon for fighting. Only 8 of these trainers are
considered to be Pokemon leaders. You can find these lead-
ers hanging out at local gyms. training their Pokemon to
become stronger.
These leaders are waiting for anyone who wants to chal-
lenge them. In order to complete your Pokedex. you must
fight these leaders.
fOMPllTI YOUD POICiDIX
Your goal is to capture one of every Pokemon in the world to
become a true Pokemon Master.
To reach this goal. all of your findings must be recorded in your
electronic encyclopedia called a Pokedex. All of the Pokemon
data you find will be automatically recorded in your Pokedex.
To catch Pokemon. you will need Poke Balls. which you may pur-
chase from Poke Marts in most towns and cities. You will also
need to trade Pokemon with friends who have a different ver-
sion in order to complete your Pokedex.
